PRESS RELEASE

FOR RELEASE July 29, 2026

McGrath Announces Results for Second Quarter 2026 Livermore, CA - July 29, 2026 – McGrath RentCorp (“McGrath” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MGRC), a leading business-to-business rental company in North America, today announced total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 of $221.1 million, a decrease of 6% compared to the second quarter of 2025. The Company reported net income of $33.7 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $36.0 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. The decreases in net income and earnings per diluted share for the quarter were primarily attributed to lower gross profit on sales revenues when compared to the second quarter of 2025.

SECOND QUARTER 2026 YEAR-OVER-YEAR Company HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Rental operations revenues increased 6% to $172.5 million.
  • Sales revenues decreased 34% to $46.4 million.
  • Total revenues decreased 6% to $221.1 million.
  • Other income, net increased $1.8 million as a result of the sale of a corporate property.
  • Income from operations decreased 7% to $53.3 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA¹ decreased 4% to $82.8 million.
  • Dividend rate of $0.495 per share for the second quarter 2026. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 1.7% yield on the July 28, 2026 close price of $119.98 per share.

Phil Hawkins, President and CEO of McGrath, made the following comments:

“Our strong rental operations revenues were the highlight of the second quarter and we were pleased to see momentum building in our two largest rental businesses. Both Mobile Modular and TRS grew rental revenue and improved utilization sequentially while Portable Storage rental revenues were stable. Sales revenues for the quarter were lower than a year ago, due to lower sales at Enviroplex and Mobile Modular, as delays caused several new sales projects to shift to the second half of the year.

Modular rental revenues increased 2% compared to last year, with continued growth from our commercial customer base. We experienced positive business momentum during the quarter, particularly with large commercial projects and progress with our regional expansion efforts. Shipments exceeded returns for each month of the quarter, and average utilization improved slightly from the first to second quarter.

Portable Storage rental revenues were flat as commercial construction project activity remained soft. Higher costs for equipment preparation, trucking and sales coverage continued to pressure margins in the quarter.

TRS-RenTelco had an impressive quarter, as strong market conditions supported 17% rental revenue growth. Demand was robust throughout the quarter, and the business benefited from projects supporting buildout of new data centers.

Overall, we are encouraged by our progress. Modular utilization improvement and execution on our strategic growth initiatives in the quarter set us up well for the second half of the year. While there are still some challenges in the macro environment, we remain focused on the growth levers within our control.”

Division HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 to the quarter ended June 30, 2025 unless otherwise indicated.

Mobile Modular

For the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $50.7 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 4%, when compared to the same quarter in 2025.

  • Rental revenues increased 2% to $81.9 million, depreciation expense increased 9% to $11.7 million and other direct costs increased 9% to $26.1 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 4% to $45.4 million.
  • Rental related services revenues increased 8% to $34.8 million, primarily attributable to higher delivery and installation revenues, with associated gross profit increasing 8% to $12.7 million.
  • Sales revenues decreased 23% to $31.2 million, primarily due to lower new equipment sales. Lower sales revenues partly offset by higher gross margin on sales of 36% in 2026, compared to 32% in 2025, resulted in a 14% decrease in gross profit on sales revenues to $11.1 million.
  • Selling and administrative expenses increased 2% to $37.4 million, when compared to the prior year.

Portable storage For the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s Portable Storage division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 23%, when compared to the same quarter in 2025.

  • Rental revenues were comparable to 2025 at $16.9 million, depreciation expense increased 6% to $1.1 million, and other direct costs increased 18% to $2.3 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 4% to $13.5 million.
  • Rental related services revenues increased 3% to $4.5 million, primarily attributable to higher delivery and return delivery activities. Gross margin on rental related services was negative 18% compared to 2% in 2025, primarily due to higher trucking related costs, resulting in a gross loss on rental related services revenues of $0.8 million.
  • Sales revenues increased 8% to $1.9 million. Gross margin on sales was comparable to 2025 at 39%, resulting in a $0.1 million increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $0.7 million.
  • Selling and administrative expenses increased 12% to $8.5 million, when compared to the prior year.

TRS-RenTelco

For the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $25.0 million, an increase of 29% when compared to the same quarter in 2025.

  • Rental revenues increased 17% to $31.8 million, depreciation expense increased 8% and other direct costs increased 10%, resulting in a 29% increase in gross profit on rental revenues to $15.3 million.
  • Sales revenues increased 13% to $8.7 million and gross profit on sales revenues increased 59% to $5.8 million, primarily attributed to higher sales margins of 66% in 2026 compared to 47% in 2025.
  • Selling and administrative expenses increased 13% to $8.3 million, when compared to the prior year. financial outlook:

Based upon the Company's year-to-date results and current outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company is updating its financial outlook. For the full-year 2026, the Company currently expects:

•Total revenue:$945 to $995 million$955 to $985 million
PreviousCurrent
•Adjusted EBITDA1, 2:$360 to $378 million$363 to $375 million
•Gross rental equipment capital expenditures:$180 to $200 million$200 to $220 million

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs and non-operating transactions. A reconciliation of actual net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities can be found at the end of this release.

Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Therefore, no reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided. The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted in the reconciliation of actual Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures at the end of this release.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures To supplement the Company’s financial data presented on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company presents “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is defined by the Company as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure as management believes it provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and because management, as well as the Company’s lenders, use this measure in evaluating the performance of the Company.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP measures to further evaluate period-to-period operating performance, compliance with financial covenants in the Company’s revolving lines of credit and senior notes and the Company’s ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes the exclusion of non-cash charges and non-recurring transactions, including share-based compensation, transaction costs and gains on property sales is useful in measuring the Company’s cash available for operations and performance of the Company. Because management finds Adjusted EBITDA useful, the Company believes its investors will also find Adjusted EBITDA useful in evaluating the Company’s performance.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP and may be different from non−GAAP measures used by other companies. Unlike EBITDA, which may be used by other companies or investors, Adjusted EBITDA does not include share-based compensation charges, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is of limited use in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and does not accurately reflect real cash flow. In addition, other companies may not use Adjusted EBITDA or may use other non-GAAP measures, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of comparison. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company will not incur expenses that are the same as or similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company’s performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined by the SEC, the Company includes in the tables below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
